Sad news. Hoss is back with us again, and this one hurts.
He is such a good boy — big-hearted, brilliant, slightly mischievous, and still waiting for the person who truly understands him.
Hoss has been adopted and returned more than once, but Hoss is not a bad dog. He is an incredibly smart, deeply loving dog who loves his people HARD. He bonds closely and wants nothing more than to be right beside his person.
That big love comes with some challenges. Hoss struggles with separation anxiety and doesn’t do well being left alone for long periods. He is also ridiculously smart — as in, “I figured out how to open the doorknob and take myself for a walk” smart. He needs a secure home and someone willing to stay one step ahead of that clever brain.
When he is bored or anxious, he can be destructive, but give this boy puzzle toys, durable chews, enrichment, exercise, and something to keep his mind busy, and he does so much better.
Hoss loves playing with other dogs. He is goofy, affectionate, entertaining, loyal, and absolutely full of personality.
He doesn’t need someone expecting a perfect dog. He needs someone patient, consistent, and committed. Someone who understands that some dogs need a little more help learning how to feel safe and secure.
More than anything, Hoss needs someone who will look at him and say:
“We’re going to figure this out together.”
Please share Hoss. His person has to be out there somewhere please share and help us find Hoss the big boss a home.
